1. Open the command prompt
   • Win key + R
   • Type in: cmd
   • Press enter
2. Type: javaws -viewer
3. Hit enter
4. Select DrumsUI updater
5. Hit the red X, delete button
6. Hit close, hit OK, and close command prompt.
7. Re-launch the Updater install from http://advancedmod.com/DrumsUI/ (or directly download the java launcher file from: http://updater.pala.de/drumsui.jnlp )

so I do this cmd and type the javaws -viewer and it says it is not recognized as an internaor or external command, operable program or batch file. Trying the next step you posted. Ok just tried your next step and the new Updater.bat gives me and unknown type error because it is trying to open the drums updater that is not recognizable. I have reinstalled drums full then the updater but the updater only puts you to the http://www.advancedmod.com/DrumsUI/ website. I am starting to give up and just clicking the updater, let it update, then my maps then the maps opens my EQ2 but I shouldn't have to do this like it was before, darn Java.
